7137 Blacksmith

Mattel’s Karl May Blacksmith Outfit, reference 7137, was released in Europe in the late 1970s, within the Winnetou & Old Shatterhand Western range. This vintage Big Jim-compatible set equips a figure as a frontier blacksmith or farrier, an essential role in the horse-based world of Karl May. The original boxed contents include a checked shirt, blue jeans, brown boots and a leather-look apron, together with an anvil, bellows, hammer, tongs, horseshoes, axe and additional smithing tools. The distinctive large green Karl May packaging carries the “Winnetou & Old Shatterhand” branding and the Mattel logo. Reference 7137 is closely related to later blacksmith outfit variants documented under other Mattel catalogue numbers, making identification by original packaging particularly important within the Big Jim vintage collection.
